Do Christians Have Double Standard On Religious Violence?

White Evangelical Christians believe extremely that when I Christian dedicates an act of violence they are not a real Christian, yet what about if a Muslim does? Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz, and also Amberia Allen, the hosts of The Young Turks, simplify. Inform us just what you believe in the comment area listed below.

" Most Americans do not see widespread support for extremism among Muslims staying in the U.S. Total, 40% claim there is very little support for extremism among UNITED STATE Muslims, while an extra 15% say there is none at all. Regarding a quarter claim there is a reasonable quantity of assistance (24%) for extremism amongst U.S. Muslims; 11% say there is a good deal of assistance.

The share of grownups stating there is not much or no support for extremism amongst UNITED STATE Muslims is 9 percentage factors higher than in 2011 (54% today, 45% in July 2011).

Views on this inquiry vary widely by age, degree of education and learning and partial association."

If leftism was a religion, the only ideologies remaining on the political spectrum would be right wing. That basically flies in the face of all mainstream definitions of politics and religion.

Well obviously when you ask people about their own religion which they know of they will see it as peaceful but when you ask about other religions they wont so whats so shocking here? if you ask any religion the same question you will get the same result! lol and im a Muslim.

@ibkillah No, you don’t understand. The OT was written within a harsh cultural setting where our Messiah was still prophesized to eventually bring salvation. The NT is historical proof of this. There’s little-to-no violence you can actually manage to pinpoint in the new testament where Yeshua actually supported. What does this tell you? It all goes down to this; no messiah = crumbling in our own nature. *Having* a messiah = challenging ourselves to better who we are as people. Right from the start, in Genesis’ Adam & Eve storyline, it introduces the reason as to why so many atrocities occur as recorded (But not supported) *Historically* in scripture. Being introduced to Yeshua, we now have an objective ability to restore society from not destruction, but from OURSELVES.

Huh? Is this a serious comment? Dylan Roof was prosecuted and sentenced to death for what he did. Is that what you see as “taking over”? Can you see how your ideology is forcing you to make bad arguments, that you otherwise wouldn’t make? Sort of how religion makes people do things that they otherwise wouldn’t do?

*+GiveMe ABreak* Can you actually make an argument based in this century? No, you can’t, so shut up. Who cares about dead people? Stop obsessing over the past, that was 100 years ago, and everyone from that time is DEAD

” I guess it’s because they show that martyrdom isn’t specifically a Muslim thing, and that the original Martyrs were actually Christians.”
No, you’re just ignorant, and you just proved it. Martyrs have existed forever, he’s not talking about martyrs. He’s talking about Martyrdom, which is different. Christians martyrs are not violent. Muslim martyrs are. That’s because Islam has the concept of Martyrdom, the tenets of which he highlighted in his comment, a comment that you obviously didn’t even fully read before responding.

The Hadith says: Narrated Ibn ‘Umar: Allah’s messenger said, “i have been ordered by Allah to fight against the people till they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and perform As-Salat (prayers)and give Zakat (tithes/offerings), so if they perform all that then they shall save their lives and properties from me…. None of this command is about fighting them only if they fight muhammad. It is purely offensive fighting and forcing people to submit to Allah…or die…that is the founder of Islam..the great muslim example we should follow

+Puddin what gives you the certainty those crusty old men wouldn’t start killing once the legal and justice systems would derail and chaos/war would break out? For people like Breivik and the canadian mosque shooter it doesn’t even take war and chaos. Lol… You all live in bubbles.

The Soup Crowder gets more views per video for the same reason that Fox News is rated as the #1 cable “news” network: sensationalism and entertainment value. Crowder is a shock jock and slap stick comic first, then a pseudo-political pundit second whereas TYT is less on the gimmicks and suspense and more on the reporting and editorials.

Please refer to the Rotterdam riots for further information on the state of The Netherlands. As a Dutchman who was born in the US, I’ve heard almost nothing but criticism from my leftist relatives in Holland about how US policies are horrible and inferior to theirs. Now they’re waist deep in immigrants and will probably be assimilated into their culture if Mark Rutte is elected again. Their only hope is Geert Wilders. He’s essentially a Dutch Trump. I know, I know, “how horrible!” Lol

aHHH, the inevitable ‘take the actions of a secular nation comprised of every religion and millions of atheists and agnostics and GIVE the premise that they are based on the most numerous religious beleif’ PLOY. Glad to see you regressives haven’t changed that strategy.’

Guess, if we do that we have to say the USSR attacked Poland, Finland, the Baltic countries, Eastern Europe, Manchuria, Mongolia, Korea, Czechoslovakia, and Afghanistan in the name of, ATHEISM. To not do so is engaging in massive hypocricy

dont think so, I think liberals use liberalisme to understand reality in there enterity. Obivious liberalisme is not perfect, and if it has flaws they will bend facts and perception because it will question there reality.
The main problem is that the content of liberalisme is controlled by mainstream media, so in above way you can controle people “nicely”.

hoi ja See now this makes sense. I was thinking around the same thing. Liberals are drawn to minority groups (well only groups that are a minority in most Western nation’s) and feel they have to protect them.

I can understand that they want reasonable representation for underrepresented persons but that doesn’t justify blatantly denying or ignoring facts.

+Inklebonker 1 It’s mostly because Muslims are viewed as an “oppressed minority” in the west. Liberals _ALWAYS_ defend perceived minorities regardless of whether those minorities even merit defending. Also, liberals like to live in a rose-tinted alternate reality in which all cultures are more or less equal and extremists are just a tiny minority and fringe element in every culture and religion. Islam flies in the face of their kumbaya narrative and short-circuits their liberal brains like a computer being fed a program it can’t process.
